Veritasty: Truthfully Delicious

Begin the onslaught of wiener jokes. I had first heard about currywurst after watching an episode of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, when he went to Berlin.  He was meeting with some ex-CIA operative and chatting about the Cold War over...currywurst.  Curry in German food?  (side note: happy continuing-of-curry-week) Apparently, a very popular food from Berlin is sausage + ketchup + curry powder.  It sounds so crazy it just might work. And it does.  We got a combo of beef and pork wurst along with Maharadja and Anapura curry powders, and a side of fries.  It was kind of strange to walk into the restaurant - which opened this summer and looks very cute with sausages shaped like smiley faces and hearts for eyes - and not hear sizzling or smell smokey stuff cooking on a grill or flattop.  There was this one lone heating element with a few wursts sitting on it awkwardly and quietly.  I had a few doubts.  On the plus side, no linger...

Possibly one of my favorite THINGS this summer was going to Smorgasburg.  Granted, I had a kind of bad summer, but nonetheless Smorgasburg was all types of amazing for all the senses and if I could get to Williamsburg every Saturday for the rest of my life, I would. When we first arrived, it was overwhelming to see so many booths selling so much different stuff.  And that's just what it was, indescribable, uncategorizable, STUFF!  Korean BBQ, pickles, beef jerky, anchovies, herbal tea, cupcakes, lobstah rolls, oh the list goes on....  I'm a real big fan of markets, though not a fan of map-less territories.  So, note to my fellow OCD market-goers, Smorgasburg can get messy and confusing. But, messily and confusingly delicious as well!  We split hotdogs from Asiadog and pulled pork tacos from another booth.  The pulled pork tacos were strangely watery and dissolved my tortillas, which was supremely disappointing.  The hotdogs, however...
